Bellahouston Harriers
Amateur running club based in the Southside of Glasgow. Est. 1892. Welcoming runners of all paces.
We train on Tuesday & Thursday at 6:30 pm.
Bellahouston Harriers, established in 1892, commemorates its 132nd anniversary this year. While the club’s history is rich, its true essence lies in the dedicated community of runners who consistently participate in races, turn up for training every week, volunteer at our numerous events and get togethers, and promote the club's achievements.
Beyond the people, the club's identity is embodied in its logo, vest, and various mediums such as websites, social media, printed materials, and training gear. As the 132nd anniversary unfolds, the club seized the opportunity to assess its identity through a graphic rationalisation exercise.

Bitstream Romana Regular
The Romana Font Family
The French interest in the revival of suitably edited Oldstyle romans as an alternative to a world of Modern typefaces started in 1846 when Louis Perrin cut the Lyons capitals. About 1860, as Phemister was cutting the Miller & Richard Old Style in Edinburgh, Theophile Beaudoire turned the idea of the Lyons capitals into a complete Oldstyle typeface, with similar overwhelming success.
Primary Font
Used for main headings and key messaging to ensure brand consistency and recognition.
Bitstream Romana Bold
Founders Grotesk Font Family
Founders Grotesk Text Regular is rooted in the tradition of 19thcentury grotesque typefaces but tailored for modern use. Its blend of historical inspiration and contemporary functionality has made it a staple in the world of typography.
Secondary Font
Supports the primary font by being used in body text and subheadings, providing readability and flexibility while maintaining the brand's visual identity.
